Announcement: Online Historic Map Library

For those interested in online reference material,
particularly online 
historic maps, you might be interested in the services that
we offer:

The Broer Map Library is a growing collection of thousands
of online 
historic maps from around the world.  Our collection
features several 
native language atlases (e.g. German maps of Germany) as
well as 
historic road maps and topographical maps.  We also have
many military 
maps from different theaters of action such as unique maps
of the 
Normandy, France area.  A growing collection of our maps are
viewable in 
Google Earth so you can compare the historic map with modern
conditions.

The collection can be browsed by region or you can search
for a map.  We 
also feature our unique Historic Map Index in which you can
search 
through over 60,000 historic maps at over 100 other online
collections.  
We are in the process of creating a new index that will be
even more 
powerful and will contain links to many more maps.

The collection is continually growing.  We are always adding
new 
content.  We currently involved in a project to fully scan
historic 
topographic maps from around the country.  So, our current
collection of 
1,300 USGS topographic maps will be growing.
